Composite Fillings – Natural-Looking Fillings for a Stronger, Healthier Smile

At East Van Family Dental, we believe restorative dental care should protect your health without compromising your appearance. That’s why we offer composite fillings—a durable, tooth-colored alternative to traditional silver (amalgam) fillings. Composite fillings are designed to match the shade of your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible when you smile, speak, or laugh. They’re a popular choice for patients who want to maintain a natural look while treating cavities or repairing minor damage.

Why Choose Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are made from a blend of resin and fine glass particles. This material bonds directly to the tooth structure, providing excellent strength and support while preserving more of your natural tooth. Benefits include:

• Aesthetic appeal – Matches your natural tooth color for a seamless look
• Strong and durable – Holds up well under pressure from chewing
• Minimally invasive – Requires less removal of healthy tooth material
• Versatile – Can be used to repair chips, cracks, and worn areas—not just cavities

Whether you’re replacing an old filling or treating new decay, composite fillings are a modern solution that combines form and function.

What to Expect

Getting a composite filling is a straightforward and comfortable process. First, we gently remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth. Then, we clean the area and apply the composite material in layers, shaping it carefully for a natural fit. Once the material is in place, we use a special light to harden the filling and finish with a polish to match the shine of your enamel. The result is a smooth, strong restoration that looks and feels like your natural tooth.
